INTRODUCTION TO ANCIENT GREEK MYTHOLOGY

Myth is a complex cultural phenomenon that can be approached from a number of viewpoints. In general, myth is a narrative that describes and portrays in symbolic language the origin of the basic elements and assumptions of a culture. Mythic narrative relates, for example, how the world began, how humans and animals were created, and how certain customs, gestures, or forms of human activities originated. Almost all cultures possess or at one time possessed and lived in terms of myths. Myths differ from fairy tales in that they refer to a time that is different from ordinary time (see Folktales). The time sequence of myth is extraordinary—an “other” time—the time before the conventional world came into being.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS AND POLICY IN COASTAL MANAGEMENT

The coastal zone is (i) a series of interacting sub-systems with uncertain boundaries (ii) a system with complex and poorly understood response to external forcing such as global sea level rise, and (iii) a system which is increasingly affected by anthropogenic use and management. Effective management of the coast therefore requires integration, development and application of knowledge from a wide range of disciplines including coastal scientists, ecologists, and socio-economicists.

This course introduces students to the coastal environment with particular emphasis on the understanding of how coast “works” and how anthropogenic activities affect the system. Finally it provides an introduction to coastal zone management in the context of environmental policy and natural resource management, with relevant test cases from the Mediterranean region.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s the Internet transformed from a specialized medium to a mass medium revelation. In the realm of this new medium the virtual newspaper emerged.
